Lesson Plan

Modeling Video Game Motion with Matrices 2

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The second day of a two-part lesson plan on motion introduces the class to circular motion. Pupils learn how to incorporate a time parameter into the rotational matrix transformations they already know. The 24th installment in the 32-part series takes the newly learned rotations and the motion along a line from the previous lesson plan to create combinations of motions.

Instructional Ideas
  • Group the class in pairs; have one pupil create a matrix that represents a rotation and the other one use the matrix to perform the rotation
  • Use geometry software to project the example transformations
Classroom Considerations
  • The class should be familiar with matrix multiplication
Pros
  • The exit ticket combines the skills learned on the first and second day of the lesson
  • The opening exercises review the rotation transformations
Cons
  • None
